Natural Mosquito Repellents:
  • Splashing plain rubbing alcohol on yourself and allowing it to dry will deter mosquitoes from biting you.
  • Rub Vick's Vaporub® on your pants and legs to ward off ticks.
  • Use half vanilla (has to be pure vanilla) and half water and for a mosquito and tick repellent.
  • Dab lavender oil on your pulse points; it smells great on you but repels insects.
